Boston trio Morphine was known for the low, sonorous sounds of Mark Sandman’s two-string slide bass and Dana Colley’s baritone sax. But Sandman would occasionally throw in a spare acoustic track like “In Spite of Me,” the side one closer to their 1993 magnum opus, Cure For Pain, featuring beautifully fluttering mandolin by Jimmy Ryan. “In Spite of Me” is a bittersweet paean to someone who left the narrator behind long ago, but Sandman’s half-whispered vocal radiates with the fond memories of a shared history: “Last night I told a stranger all about you / They smiled patiently with disbelief.”
Last night I told a stranger all about you
They smiled patiently with disbelief
I' always knew you would succeed
No matter what you tried
And I know you did it all
In spite of me
Still I'm proud to have known you
For the short time that I did
Proud to have been a step up on your way
Proud to be a part of your illustrious career
And I know you did it all
In spite of me
In spite of me
Late last night
I saw you in my living room
You seemed so close but yet so cool
For a long time I thought that you'd be coming back to me
Those kind of thoughts can be so cruel
So cruel
And I know you did it all
In spite of me
In spite of me
